THE CHALLENGE: Clear for Take Off
Aeronautics

To comply with security and airline protocol, air travelers should arrive at the airport well in advance of their flight. Without realizing the probability of adverse conditions at the time of the scheduled departure, they may experience inconvenient delays at the airport. Delays can be short and relatively easy to manage, or they can cause long hours of waiting in crowded airports. Flight delays can even cause forced overnight stays at local hotels or inside the terminal. Travelers could benefit from knowing the likelihood of a delay as it could help them prepare for the wait time. Can an app be developed that predicts the impact of weather on airplane departure times?

Explanation

Don’t you hate it when you arrive at the airport, ready to get on the plane to your location… and you get notified that the flight has been delayed? We hate that too!

This service will warn you, before you even set foot in the airport, of any inconvenient delays that you might encounter. With this service you can kiss those long hours of waiting in crowded airports goodbye, and be prepared for the wait time!
